"Candy" is currently running at The Chocolate Shoppe in Greensburg, PA, and is open to the public. If you can't get there in person, please visit the "Candy" show page on the EBSQ site to view the online portion of the show.


Art: HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE by Artist RUTH J JAMIESON
Chocolate. One of the worlds favourite candies. Chocoholic, the term for those of us who adore chocolate to distraction. Divine, heavenly, rich, melt in your mouth chocolate; that’s what this image portrays. Chocolate, or cacao, was originally served as a spicy, hot drink by the Mayans and Incans. It was brought back to Spain by the Conquistadors. New ways of using cacao were developed as this taste sensations popularity spread all over Europe and eventually the world, including the production of chocolate candy. Chocolate is still one of the world’s favourite flavours, especially when transformed into sinfully delicious candies such as those depicted in ‘HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE’. This image was developed by manipulating the mathematical formulas of an Apophysis flame. The dark brown background added a rich, delicious quality to this image of divine chocolate.
